    002A Aux Fuel Setup Suggestions

    This is something else I have seen over and over. The coil comes with a new meter. It is supposed to be removed before installing a new meter. Sadly, the meters come with no instructions telling you to toss the coil.

    K1 is your output contactor. It's mounted on the relay table. The static Excitor is the box you got the volt reg out of. Also mounted on the relay table. the battery charging alternator has a fuse mounted on it, so check it and see if it's there, (about the most stolen item this side of...

    002A Aux Fuel Setup Suggestions

    I can not tell you how many such cards I have looked at during my years of repairing gen sets. Clasic. Clasic damage. I would not rule out other deteration of components in the Static Excitor. But would not bet on it. This was probably the biggest weak point of the 004 and 005 family of gen...

    002A Aux Fuel Setup Suggestions

    Take a good gander at the -24P. The parts are 1950-60's tech. You can probably find something better. It would be nice if someone collected old board, diagnosed the part failure and then "improved" on that part. Bad board could be fixed and re issued/sold. Hint, hint.

    002A Aux Fuel Setup Suggestions

    The gages are to be taken with a grain of salt. And at the end of the day, they are close enough for government work. When I was in ADA, we powered all kinds of radars, vans, launchers and what have you. 416 volt, 400 hertz. Precise Power gen sets. But said with a smirk. We went by the meters...

    Since your Handle is n5yzv, you got to be a Ham. So this stuff should be easy for you. When you did your measurements, did you use a multimeter, or the gages on the panel?

    002A Aux Fuel Setup Suggestions

    J4 is the plug. J4-B is the plug number and pin letter in that plug. If you look real close at them, you will see tiny little letters next to the pins. P63A16 is a Wire number. Each wire has its own number. Ignore the last two numbers. That tells you the gage of the wire. So you only really...

    Here is the path for the K4, (Aux Fuel) Solenoid. Everything starts from S1-17. Both the E1 electric pump, and the K4 solenoid.

    Well guys, I am going in so many directions now, I need a twin brother. Yeah, my wife has been complaining about me staying up till the cows come home. I try hard, but who wants to go to bed at 01:00? The day is young!! My apple schnapps operation is running good at the moment. The mash is...

    002A Aux Fuel Setup Suggestions

    The schematic is in both the -12 and -34 manuals. As the files have been reproduced ten million times, they can be hard to read sometimes. So I normally use the schematic out of the -34 manual, but from MEP-003A book. The quality is somewhat better. The schematics are the same for both sets...

    002A Aux Fuel Setup Suggestions

    A simple way to test the float circuit is to remove the float from the tank. Replace the canon plug, and slide the float up and down. Have the S1 in Aux position. You can hear and feel the solenoid work. DOSNT mean its working, as it can click and not open/shut. BUT, if the pump speeds up and...

    002A Aux Fuel Setup Suggestions

    The electric fuel pumps are very robust. They can run all night without fuel in them, and not self destruct. I would not do that just for fun, but they can take a beating. There are several threads concerning Aux fuel storage, and several are ongoing right now. When I worked on these things in...
